§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security on what occasions since 1979 civil servants in his Department have been asked to draft speeches of a constituency nature for use in a Minister's own constituency.
§ Mr. HagueNone. Civil servants may provide briefing of a factual nature for Ministers on these matters relating to their own Departments. In addition, Ministers, in preparing for a constituency speech, can draw on material produced by their Department during the normal course of business.
